Opening of the Romanian Community Centre

Opening of the Romanian Community Centre

By rcct in News on iunie 16, 2025

Seven years ago, we began our journey at RCCT with a clear mission: to support the Romanian community and to show that together, we are stronger.
On Thursday, May 29th—Ascension Day and Heroes’ Day—one of our greatest dreams became reality. Alongside Her Excellency, Mrs. Laura Popescu, Ambassador of Romania, the Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Anjana Patel, and His Eminence Atanasie of Bogdania, we officially opened the Romanian Community Centre at Kenmore Hall.
This achievement is the result of years of dedicated work, made possible through the unwavering support of our incredible staff, volunteers, and partner organisations.
Together with Help Harrow, we are ready to bring new life and purpose to Kenmore Hall, serving the community with even more heart and determination.
As our founder Tudorita Poenaru so beautifully said: This is just the beginning. Our work continues!
Acum șapte ani, am pornit la drum cu RCCT având o misiune clară: să sprijinim comunitatea românească și să arătăm că, împreună, suntem mai puternici.
Joi, 29 mai — de Ziua Eroilor și de Înălțare — unul dintre cele mai mari vise ale noastre a devenit realitate. Alături de Excelența Sa, doamna Laura Popescu, Ambasadoarea României, Primarul din Harrow, Cllr Anjana Patel, și Înaltpreasfințitul Atanasie de Bogdania, am deschis oficial Centrul Comunitar Român la Kenmore Hall.
Această realizare este rodul anilor de muncă dedicată și a fost posibilă datorită sprijinului necondiționat al angajaților noștri minunați, al voluntarilor și al organizațiilor partenere.
Împreună cu Help Harrow, suntem pregătiți să aducem un nou suflu și un nou scop la Kenmore Hall, continuând să servim comunitatea cu și mai multă inimă și hotărâre.
Așa cum a spus atât de frumos fondatoarea organizației, Tudorița Poenaru: Acesta este doar începutul. Munca noastră continuă!
